I'm a bit like this, too. I do most of the cooking in our house and I have the kitchen arranged as I like it. This extends to the draining board where I place the pots (in a plastic rack) to dry. I always put the knives, forks and spoons in their own dedicated homes and the plates, bowls and pans likewise.
I can always tell when my wife has been 'rinsing a few things' because the pots are arranged any-old-how and the cutlery is all mixed up. I have to put things back as they should be before I can do anything else. I know it's a bit strange and picky, but I can't help it.
The other give-away that she's been messing is that the place resembles a swimming bath, with water on almost every surface. Aaaargh! Put me away now!
